You could run the setenv.bat script before running NAnt (depending upon how you're invoking NAnt), but that would create more work if you wanted to run NAnt from CruiseControl.Net (for example).
My preference would be to identify the environment variables that are needed, and then pass them explicitly to the <exec> of build.exe using the <environment> element. This will give you better control of the tools that are being used and make it clear which tools are being invoked.
